This switch is small, fast, easy to set-up, easy to use, and works like a charm right out of the box. I have been using it for almost 5 months now and haven't had a moments problem. It is the definition of "Plug-and-play." Plug it in. Hook up your cables, and you're ready to go. It's reliable. I highly recommend it.
Bought it primarily to connect 2 PCs and NAS, but also connecting Internet Router and Xbox 360.Profs:* Small* Cool (temperature)* Metal case (asking why this is prof. Up to 60% power saving (as declared on the box). Because not smelly plastic like most others. And of course metal provides extra shielding)* Excellent quality* Perfectly works on 1 Gigabit speed* Package also contains 4 rubber legs and screws for on wall mounting (if needed)* Green. Of course haven't checked by myself. :-)Cons:None so far
I bought this along with a larger NetGear switch. This worked great for about 6-months, then it just stopped working. The other switch is still working for now.
Mine comes unplugged/loose every so often from being moved around. I bought this to use on my workbench, and it's done it's job. The power connection seems like the weak point of an otherwise sturdy design. Wouldn't be an issue if it was screwed to a wall in a closet. I do like the port lights right on the ports, as it's easy to interpret.
I love these, we can use them in remote towers (we run a WISP) and they just run and run unlike their cheaper brothers. The docs are kind of limited and such features as Spanning Tree Protocol either isn't available or they forgot to mention it in their very limited documentation, online as well. Don't let that defer you, this is a hot little item and the price is right, as they say on TV.
